Macbook Pro - bottom part of the screen partly mirrors the top

Making the computer sleep will remove this symptom for a while. Tried disabling hardware acceleration (GPU) via setting or gSwitch, resetting SMC and PRAM/NVRAM, and rebooting. Apple diagnostics has not been identifying any issues.

MacBook Pro Freezing

My MacBook Pro just started acting up. The screen will flicker and I end up having to reboot my computer. I can still move the mouse around, but that's just about it. Would you have any ideas what the problem may be?

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 13.3" with a Retina display. Should I use a screen protector bought from Shopee as part of a casing package?

I seem to have recalled some information from Apple some years ago which said that screen protectors for laptops and also iMacs were not recommended. I had an iMac at the time.

Dual screens with different resolutions

I have my MBP connected to another screen with a smaller resolution. Thus when I want to move a window on the other screen, I have to resize it first to that it fits, then I can make it full screen again. Is there a more convenient way to do that ?
